She's hilarious, brave and funny - exactly what we love on this show! Lindsay tells us all about her decision to join the LDS Church at 13, and her experiences within her decade long membership. Even the difficult parts are littered with dark humor, a theme Lindsay uses throughout her book as well. And no episode of Life After MLM would be complete without SOME MLM, Lindsay was ALSO A Mary Kay lady during her time in Mormonism! Also, some mini dives in Blessing Looms and BINT.Show NotesBBB Scam Alert : Blessing Looms - https://www.bbb.org/article/news-releases/22255-bbb-scam-alert-easy-money-blessing-loom-nope-pyramid-schemeBINT Scam - https://www.bintscam.com/FTC v BINT - https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/cases/bint._complaint_file_stamped_copy.pdfVixen by Lindsay Helm - https://amzn.to/3DnFP5UMormons Tipped Scale in Ban on Gay Marriage - https://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/15/us/politics/15marriage.htmlIf my Body is a Temple it’s on Fire - https://www.michigandaily.com/statement/if-my-body-is-a-temple-its-on-fire/Dismantling Mormon Purity Culture - https://religionnews.com/2016/09/27/dismantling-mormon-purity-culture/Dr. Steven Hassan's BITE Model - https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/Ponzinomics by Robert L.
